A floating wind turbine installation 20, comprises an asymmetric floating wind turbine structure 11 tethered to the floor of a body of water by a mooring system, preferably lines 21a, 21b, 21c. The floating wind turbine structure comprises a wind turbine 16 mounted on a semi-submersible floating platform oriented such that the wind turbine is positioned on an upwind side of the centre of mass of the structure when the wind approaches the wind turbine structure in the direction of the prevailing wind at the location of the wind turbine installation. Preferably the semi-submersible floating platform comprises a plurality of columns 13, 14, 15, connected by connecting members in a ring configuration. The wind turbine may be supported on one of the columns. Preferably the mooring lines are catenary mooring lines and / or at least one mooring line is connected to the floating wind turbine structure by a bridle 22. A method of mooring an asymmetric floating wind turbine structure in a body of water is also claimed.
